administration was becoming apparent as new york times reports in an interview with democratic senator carl levin in june of two thousand and ten quote there is a lot of inertia against closing the prison and the administration is not putting a lot of energy behind their position that i can see said sen carl levin the michigan democrat who is chairman of the senate armed services committee and supports the illinois plan he added that the odds are that it will still be open by the next presidential inauguration. so with little pressure coming from the white house congressional democrats decided it's not worth sticking their necks out to help close gitmo either when their final moves as the majority in the house democrats passed a year and spending bill in december of two thousand and ten that a good block funding to transfer get most detainees and also block detainees from being transferred to the united states and to a slew of other nations a month later republicans would take control of the house of representatives and president obama's best chance of closing gitmo in those first two

the group of bipartisan senators came out and said they wanted to do immigration reform. the president spoke about it. let me show you. >> obama: the good news is for the first time in many years republicans and democrats seem ready to tackle this problem together. members of both parties in both chambers are actively working on a solution. yesterday a bipartisan group of senators announced their principles for comprehensive immigration reform is very much in line with the principles i proposed and campaigned on for the last few years. >> cenk: michael, let me start with you and then paul, i want to talk to about that interesting provision in there. i love when politicians deny that something is about politics. they released right before obama was set to give a speech on immigration the white house said oh no, no, we're not worried about that. it wasn't political. but it appears that obama backed off his specific proposals and is going with a bipartisan group that the bipartisan group obviously did that to head off the president to give some credit to the republicans but

it is not actually anything substantive. >> stephanie: i love what senator boxer said. don't they think that latinos can hear, too? all right. sean hannity. >> president barack obama delivered his second inaugural address which will probably be remembered as the most liberal speech of his entire left wing political career. as you know, it came at a time when his administration happens to be engaged in an all-out assault on the second amendment and the rights of law-abiding americans. however, it seems that trampling on your right to keep and bear arms is not enough for this president. no. now, he is setting his sights even higher. so what's his next target? the first amendment of course. according to the anointed -- the reason why he's failed on the economy, failed to create jobs, failed to rein in radical extremism eyebrowed because some of us have dared to speak out about his agenda. >> the anointed one as opposed to the elected one? >> stephanie: is it wrong when new polls come out i picture sean hannity's head exploding? obama's approval rating hits three-year high.
